This new regime was a bit stricter and more better, Pastor Grace was so discipline, I was happy when she was made the president of the fellowship, i had a natural likeness for her, she was beautiful and spiritual, very kind and lovable person, I remembered how she helped me pack my things from school gate to my hostel in 100level, she was always checking on me, she encouraged me to read my books and give my academics my best try and also not forget to always put God first.

She wasn't even an exco then, but she was a very good person. 

The last Sunday for the semester, was an awesome. The worship was lead by Sandra and the praises was lead by Ivie, it was indeed a Monday blowing section

The hymn was solemn, AMD Pride lead it, the atmosphere for the service was different, you could see Jane moving from one place to another, forming activities.

The drama was very boring, maybe because there wasn't adequate rehearsals for it . The prayer session was just there, Kelvin said maybe because we aren't really use the new person's.

PST Grace mounted the pubit, with someone looking very familiar, I kept wandering who it was, Kelvin tapped me, that looks like Pauline, I tried looking but, the sunglasses made her so different and she was bowing her head down.

PST Grace wasn't smiling this very day, she said today's service was going to be different, someone has something to tell us and I want us to listen carefully, she handed over the Mike to Pauline who was already crying.

The auditorium was quiet, everyone wanted to know what happened to the always vibrant Pauline.

Pauline's POV

Good morning church, I said checking my wrist watch, I know you guys are amazed to see me and really want to know what is happening to me, thanks to all those who sent me messages , am sorry for not replying, I said.

Some months back I lost my father, who has been everything to me and my senior brother, after my mother died when I was 6years old. It was really a hard time for my brother and I, tears dropped from her eyes.

The church was really helpful to me, they gave me a shoulder to lean on, they travelled all the way from Benin to Akwa ibom for my dad's burial, shortly, after the burial, the church excos kept checking on me and at a time stopped

. I paused.

Kelvin and I sighed that was where she told is the story to, that's why I kept wondering what she wanted to say to the church.

Pauline continued after a long sob, victory was standing by her cleaning her tears, then one of the exco kept coming to my place, bought me gifts, foodstuffs sometimes, I was very free with him until one day he came, and ra*ed me, she said crying, I tried to attack but i was to weak to attack back because he injected the drink he bought for me.

He raped me thrice that day simultaneously, and left,  it was a painful experience, he took away my v*rgini*y, I felt hurt and devastated, I attempted suicide, thanks to my friend victory ad Hannah, they we're always there for me, at a time victory moved me to her apartment. i  paused

Then continued, I won't go without mentioning the name of this exco,  immediately I said that everyone was calm, PST Grace was beside me already, consoling me. his name is Kingsley, outgone president. I stepped down from the altar taking a sit in front of the church, there was noise everywhere, people couldn't believe it, even Pastor Grace was shocked it took 30monutes before the church calmed down.

Pastor Kingsley tried running out of the auditorium, but two hefty ushers brought him back and at this time to the front of the altar.

Pastor Grace said the matter was beyond her they need to report to the Zonal coordinator, but before then, she gave Kingsley strict orders not to travel home.

 

Service was over by2pm that day , thanksgiving was cancelled because of the whole issues.

Kelvin said are you sure this matter will be talked on again, semester has ended, December 3rd, everyone is going home till next year again.

I Didn't say a word , but I had this strong belief in PST Grace that she will do the right thing.

What a year?
